Page 2 - H&N Baracuda Match, .177 Reviews

Searching for the pellet with best, consistent accuracy is a chore. For my Air Arms TX 200 III this is the best ammo I've found. Bench rest with 5 shot groups at 10 meters is as good as it can get. Each of the 5 shot groups enter or touch same hole, making 1 big hole 90% of the time. At 20 meters 1/2 inch groups, at 40 meters maximum distribution is inside 2 inches. How could it get any better? If anyone can tell me there is something better out there I want to hear it.

Nothing..............

Excellent accuracy in Benjamin WiFi

I have a Gamo .177 Black Knight. It's a springer/break barrel. I have shot at least 1500 rounds (total) of all different sizes and grains. Beeman 11.57 Silver Arrows, JSB Monster Diablo 13.43, Crossman Premiers Domed 10.5, Gamo Red Fire 7.8, Gamo Rockets 9.6, RWS Hyper Max 5.2. If you have a higher powered air rifle go with these and I promise you won't be disappointed. I changed out the stock scope to a 4-16x40 Centerpoint Illuminated Rectile and with this combo I'm getting 1" groups from a bench @ 100 yards! I get an occasional stray (maybe 1 out of 10) but nothing compared to the others. I'm even shooting through old aerosol cans at that range (they hit hard)!

Nothing..... Getting ready to order more!

It has a screw cap and these pellets are very accurate. I ordered three tins and received the fourth free, I bought these pellets before and they shot excellent in my Beeman spring air rifle.

They H&N should make smaller tins to keep some of the cost down. Each tin comes with 500 pellets and is a little expensive and one must shot a lot when ordering the amount I ordered.

So far I have only shot these pellets at 10 yards and I don't really know how good they would shoot out to about 25 or 50 yards. At 10 yard I could cover the whole group of ten shots with less than a dime.

These pellets are clean and well made, the manufacturer seems to pay attention to detail starting with the tin in which they are package in, it is a twist off lid which i prefer over other tins small details do matter it tells me that they care about quality.These pellets shoot well out of my Benjamin trail XL 1500 which seems to favored the heavier pellets at this time they are one of my prefer brands pellet very accurate considering that i am still in the process of breaking in the rifle since i have only shot about a hundred rounds through it..

Nothing

A quality built pellet if you haven't try these give them a shot i think that you will be satisfied with their performance,they do hit hard

Consistent accuracy. I'm getting .625" groups from the bench @ 25 yds. with my Gamo Whisper fusion IGT.

Nothing

They are a bit expensive by comparison to some of the other pellets available but, the enjoyment I get from the accuracy of these pellets makes it worth price to me.

500 ct Tin is great, tight groups up to 50yd.s plus, cron.s at around 870 fps from my NP-2 Trail

Ok

Nothin

Quality

There's a lot to like here folks. Shipping was timely and packaging was superb. And, I really mean superb. Quality of the pellets was excellent, the tin has a screw on lid, and accuracy is absolutely unbelievable in my gun. I'm shooting three shot groups at thirty yards you can completely cover with a dime. This is from a sitting position, elbows on my knees, and forstock held against the side of my shooting stick. (Its a Fir branch picked up in my yard.) My gun; .177 Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper 1300 fps,, Centerpoint 3x9x40 on original Gamo mounts. Everything is secured with blue Loctite. You might find these elsewhere for a little less money, but nobody will equal or beat the quality of their packaging. Pyramid has gained another customer.

Nothing. These pellets stand on their own.

I have shot quite a few different brands and weights of pellets and these have really impressed me. If you have a setup like mine, these should work out fine for you. But, you've got to have the Fir stick.

Shoot great very clean

Price

Get what you pay for...

Fit the very well, tightest groups held at 15 and 30 yards

price.

It my number one shot.

This is a very powerful and accurate pellet from the bone collector bull whisper I had. I once actually shot through a pine 2*4 with it. From about and inch away, but still.

Nothing. These are crazy accurate pellets with high quality and uniformity and little to no flyers.

These are high quality pellets. If your gun likes em, shoot em up!

Uniform skirts, no deformations. All pellets looks way better than the crossman premiers I had before. Very accurate in my Gamo Silent Cat even though it slows that gun way down (not a bad thing at all though).

Nothing

This pellet will bring the FPS down on any guns advertised FPS. But it is worth the accuracy these are capable of.

Very accurate in all 3 of my Daystates. Regal, Airwolf, and Panther. Very few bad pellets.

The price is a little high, but then, all pellet prices are going up.

I and my wife shoot them right out of the tin. A visual inspection is all the get as they are loaded.

Decent accuracy.

Nothing.

Bought these for my Umarex Fusion, which is a fairly low powered CO2 rifle. The Baracudas were not as accurate as the JSB Exact 10.34 gr pellet in this rifle. About 1 out of 5 shots a flier. In all fairness, these pellets would probably work well in other pellet rifles.

Consistent shape. Very accurate. POI similar to JSB 8.44 gr Exact. Produced 3/8" to 7/8" patterns at 25 yards, even on breezy days.

Put a screw top on the can, please! Cost is a little high.

I bought these for my Umarex Fusion, which is a fairly low power CO2 rifle. I needed a pellet that would fly well on windy days. I was not disappointed! These worked well in the Fusion. Great patterns out to 25 yards on windy days. I needed to correct for the increased drop by 1/2", when compared to the 8.44 gr JSB Exact at 25 yards. For fun, I tried shooting cans at 42 yards on a windy day (17 mph cross-wind). I hit the can every time!

I bought these to use in my HW95 Luxus .177 and chronographed them with JSB Exact Heavies and Crossman Premier Heavies. These has the lowest standard deviation (4.2)compared to 5.83 for the Exacts and 7.48 for the premiers. They are very consistent.

I wouldn't change anything.

The head size I got was the same as the JSB Exact heavies at 4.52mm. The premiers I got have a larger head size and fit tightly into the bore (really have to push them in hard).

Long range accuracy. Well packaged.

Not a thing

I recently upped the power on my Theoben MFR and was looking for a good long range pellet in the 10.xx gr range to go 875fps and be accurate. I'm a big fan of JSB pellets, so I ordered a batch of test pellets, both JSB and Baracudas. After getting the gun up and running at around 17fpe, I found the Baracudas to be extremely accurate, even at over 40 yards, they are just amazing. When the JSB falls on it's face, the Baracuda match will touch holes at some 55 yards. Just fantastic performance from a this pellet. In my gun, I'm getting 860fps average and can whack paint balls at 40-50 yards with ease. If your gun is powerful enough, this could be the best pellet out there. Each gun likes it's own pellet, and the MFR is definitely in favor of Baracuda match pellets.

Consistent weights and sizing. Neat can they are packaged in.

Nothing.

My RWS model 34 and model 48 like this pellet. Both are shooting dime size groups at 15 yds. on sand bags. Dispatched 5 squirrels with them so far. All instant kills. BJ.

Most accurate pellet of the group I've tested. So far I've tested around 12 different types and weights of pellets and the Baracuda is hands down, far-and-away THE king of accuracy in my rifle.

Put a heat seeker tip on it, or maybe a high explosive tip. Yes, I am kidding.
